Group of accounts spamming several domains. The above list was generated from the COIBot reports. The accounts appear to be spamming the following: Spam started from 1 January 2022 and has persistently continued since. Diffs can be found at the relevant COIBot reports. The links tend to be inserted on metro-related articles, though things like are the exception and IMO demonstrate that this is a bad-faith spam campaign (the websites are in korean but from what I can tell using a translator there is no reason for the links to be there).

CU would be helpful to confirm and find any other accounts if confirmed. The COIBot report marks this out as an X-wiki issue so global locks should be considered. Pahunkat (talk) 15:35, 15 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Just added a few from WikiProject Spam/LinkReports/jkascon.co.kr. is blocked so if confirmed this is a case of block evasion. Pahunkat (talk) 15:42, 15 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Another domain - tree24.co.kr. I think I've reverted all the additions. Pahunkat (talk) 15:42, 15 January 2022 (UTC)

I've just noticed that Wesjung spammed a different link at, which is also spammed at. Adding as a result. Pahunkat (talk) 16:41, 15 January 2022 (UTC) Pahunkat (talk) 16:43, 15 January 2022 (UTC)
 * +Aidong33 per WikiProject Spam/LinkReports/studyq.co.kr. Pahunkat (talk) 17:36, 15 January 2022 (UTC)
 * +Achikiki, Wearementalchang, Adonis088 per local spam overnight. +Merolro per x-wiki spam. Since this shows no signs of stopping, I'm going to the global blacklist now (normally I would have preferred to wait until the SPI is concluded but this disruption is too persistent).

 * +Necromenfur per further enwiki spam
 * Blacklisted, just the accounts to deal with now. I think I have all of them for now, will check again tomorrow to see if any others hit Special:log/spamblacklist. Pahunkat (talk) 20:57, 17 January 2022 (UTC)

 * - Despite the decline, I did check a handful of these; just enough to figure out that doing a sleeper check would be kind of pointless. If they're spamming external links, COIbot is the right tool to find the accounts, and looking at the edit histories, it's uber-ducky that these are all the same, so there's really no point to a full CU investigation. -- RoySmith (talk) 21:29, 16 January 2022 (UTC)
